Happy Canada Day (and these were our teacher's presents this year :o)

Well, the school year is finally over, and we can all look forward to 2 months of relaxation, fun and rejuvenation. I made these presents for all our teachers, and I must say I love how they turned out! These chocolate bar sliders are so easy to make, and they create a huge wow factor! I've added a little pocket on the front of these to also hold a gift card. If the card looks familiar to you, I CASEd myself (CASEing someone else!) LOL! I love that you can take such a super sweet, super simple card, and alter it to suit your card giving needs! I also LOVE the Flirtacious DSP and Delicate Doilies Stamp set...I don't think I've told you that in about a week... :o)

This slider was made for a for a friend of Big C and L'il C's. I decided to make his a little more rough and tumble, and I love how it turned out too! That embossed resist technique rocks!

Hope you are all having a fabby start to your summer, and HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!

You (2) Rock!

Hey girlies! I am going to try to catch up my posts this week with the cards I sent to school with the kiddies everyday for their first week of school! (At least until Saturday, when I plan to post my Stampinpalooza swap card, and maybe Sunday post one of the projects we are making at my "World Card Making Day" Open House) I made the following cards for the kidlets, but didn't want to post them until after they received them all (and gave their permission! ;o) So this fun one was created using the new Color Coach. I picked this combo merely because I couldn't imagine this combo together, and you know what? I love it! It would look fabby on a birthday card, a thinking of you card, an invite...just about anywhere you want bright fun colors!

Birthday Party Class

And here it is...the prototype I've been promising for my Kids Birthday Party Class. This is targeted for ages 6 and up, and can be created for a boys party or a girls party. (Stay tuned! I will post real kiddie-made samples, with different DSP's over the next few days! Sooo cute!) The party takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours (depending on the age and number of "partiers" present), and I would go to your house to help with the creating, or you could purchase the supplies and instructions, and run it on your own. Contact me for more info, if desired.

Thanks for bearing with me girls, I am back to update this post with all the "must have info"! Life has been a whirlwind around here lately, so excuse the lack of posts please! I need to "get through" this weekend, then I am off for a week. A week of beach. A week of reading. A week of bonfires. A week of pure, unadulterated bliss. Then, I will be back in full force with the posts, I promise!

Big C and Little C have been off to skateboarding camp this week. They did a week in July, and now a week in August, and they LOVE it. I bought these stamp sets with the camp in mind, and have finally (last night), combined Samantha's SPCC color challenge and Jen delMuro's sketch from the I {heart} to Stamp site. Links listed below.
